Ethiopia/Tigray UPDATE

BFP Team
Wednesday, July 21, 2021
Africa, News, Peace Activism

On Friday, January 29, 2021, we posted a piece entitled Ethiopian Prime Ministry Abiy Ahmed, Declares Military Victory

In a dramatic and stunning reversal of military fortunes of the warring parties, the Tigray Defence Forces routed the powerful Ethiopian National Defence Forces, captured most of the cities and towns of Tigray before triumphantly entering Mekele the capital of Tigray Regional State at the end of last month.

Here are 3 references (NYT, Guardian, Addis Standard, HRW)) by way of update. The “in pictures” truly speaks volumes.

  • Resurgent Tigray and Horn of Africa Politics
  • Captured Ethiopian government soldiers reach Tigray capital – in pictures News: Fed. Gov’t accuses OCHA of misinformation; discuss conditions for humanitarian flights to Tigray
  • UN Rights Body Needs to Act on Ethiopia

Listen to Brooklyn For Peace’s board member Dr. Mohammed Nurhussein’s interview with Milton Allimadi publisher of Black Star News and host of WBAI show of the same name, Black Star News Radio Show – airs every Tuesday at 3 PM EST on WBAI.

Brooklyn For Peace supports the Not On Our Dime Legislation. From our website:"Although these settlements are all illegal under international law, many of them receive funding from organizations registered as charities in New York State. Between 2017 and 2019 alone, these “charities” funneled at least $144M to Israel and its illegal settlements.By allowing these organizations to continue operating as non-profits while funding ethnic cleansing and war crimes, New York State is subsidizing these atrocities. The Not On Our Dime! Act would end this practice and signal that New Yorkers do not support human rights abuses.Write to your New York state representatives now and ask them to co-sponsor Not On Our Dime! Ending NY Funding of Israeli Settler Violence Act (A6943/S6992)."

Some of the 700+ groups from around the USA and a few other countries who participated in the March to End Fossil Fuels. It looked like the USA we want our country to be.

Sep 18, 2023—Here are some photos from yesterday’s historic Climate March To End Fossil Fuels. Some 75,000 walked in solidarity to defend Mother Earth. This summer demonstrated clearly that the crisis and threat of climate collapse is here now, not decades in the future. Thus, the time is now to end fossil fuels which is the main agent of climate destruction. • No more drilling! • No more pipelines! • No more permits for drilling! • No more wars for oil resources! • Joe Biden – Declare a Climate ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ Emergency…Now! ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ Brooklyn For Peace had a strong contingent and marched alongside other peace organizations. They connected the issue of war (most often fought over oil resources) and environmental destruction. One begets the other in a vicious cycle. ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ Young people were leading the way because they will inherit the planet that today’s generation will have left them. They demand a planet they and their children can actually live on. They want action to guarantee that future and they want that action now. ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ They don’t want empty promises and words….they want action now!
